What if returning home meant uncovering secrets someone would kill to protect?

When a childhood friend’s suspicious death pulls New Orleans homicide detective Alex Abrams back to her hometown deep in the Ozark Mountains, she expects a quick visit, not a deadly puzzle. But something about the case doesn’t sit right. The more Alex digs, the more she uncovers a chilling pattern of so-called “accidents” and long-buried secrets the town desperately wants to keep hidden.

An Iraq War veteran with a relentless drive for justice, Alex won’t stop until she finds the truth. But someone is watching - someone who blends in, waits quietly, and knows exactly when to make their move. As the danger closes in, Alex must face the ghosts of her past and a killer who’s been hiding in plain sight.

Bryan’s Bluff is a suspenseful thriller packed with small-town secrets, sharp twists, and a fierce heroine who refuses to back down. Written by Gulf War veteran and former K9 unit coordinator, C.D. Sharpe, this gripping mystery is perfect for fans of James Patterson, Alex Sigmore, and Mary Kubica.
